The previous owner said he installed these and Im in the process of rebuilding my motor for High Comp and its completely stripped but I still don't know what these are good/bad should I get rid of them and where they are located. Thanks Erik. I have a cell phone and can get pics up for reference fast too.

 

Oil squirter eliminators are used for those running a GSR block/B16 block/type R block.... and using an LS crank. Some times you can bend the squirters so it doesn't hit, but in some (most) applications, the crank counter weights hit the squirters. That's why people install the oil squirter eliminators.

If the threads are stripped, then that's bad......

 

No no just the whole motor is stripped down to bare block. But my setup is JE 11.5:1 and Eagle H Beams GSR block/Crank and ITR head. So will I be fine with these in?

 

You don't need squirters with forged pistons - keep the GE block-offs.

 

Oh, haha. I thought you meant the threads for the squirters was stripped.

I am not 100% positive on the oil squirter thing. A lot of people block them off and as the person above me said, on a forged piston, you really do not need them. So blocking them off shouldn't be a problem. We've ran them blocked off and eliminated on lots of different setups.

 

would there be a disadvantage to leaving them on with forged pistons?

 

i used GSR block 95mm eagle stroker which is basically an ls crank only stroked out i pretty much shaved my oil squirters wit a grinder **carefully** they dont hit n never did had a scratch on the counterweights. my rods were the only thing not makin any clearance as they hit bottom of cylinder wall!!lol i jus didnt wanna spend more money on oil blockoffs

 

No; unless you have clearance issues.

 

Not really, like stated before, clearances.
It also eliminates any underneath pressure or resistance to the piston.

 

i actually didnt have to touch my oil squirters with my ls crank and itr block.
they were b18b rods and crank with a 2001 type r block, it all went together smooth.
which is why i wonder if there si something different about certain year pieces from acura.
like an ls flywheel wont fit on a type r block unless you shave the block a lil bit.

 

If you can keep them, i would. The main purpose of them is to keep piston temps down. Most people use the plugs due to clearance issues...
Ive heard of them clearing 89mm cranks on some setups, but on my last build, they barely touched....

 

Hmm any idea where and how much i can get oil squirters for?

 

I've got 3 out of the 4. I bent the 4th a little while assembling the motor. I had to use the plugs or bend the squirters to the side to clear the Wiseco piston I am using.



If you want to buy the remaining three and then I can order another one from Honda for you; they're ~$15 new for each.

 

just wondering, but if you bend them, are they even squirting where they should be anymore?

 

yes you can keep the oil squirters but you do not need them with forged pistons. In fact by removing them you increase your oil pressure and reduce your rotating mass witch is caused by the oil you do not need squirting on to the backside of your cylinders. For any performance build you should remove them, but if still using cast pistons you should keep them

 

X2.

They do nothing with forged pistons, as I said in my previous post. And they cost power. Think of it this way - they do the exact opposite of what a windage tray does.

 

I thought they were only made for the stroker kits that GE offers and if you're running forged pistons. I would assume the LS crank and rods would clear them.

 

the ls crank does not clear the oil squirters unless you bend them. like i said before when running forged pistons you do not need oil squirters and by removing them you free up hp by reducing your rotating mas you also improve your oil perisher as well
